The 12-year-old's remains were found on the 23rd floor of the 24-storey tower block.
She was identified by dental records and her provisional cause of death was also given as "consistent with the effects of fire".
The hearing also heard details of two other victims, Yasin El-Wahabi and Nura Jemal.

Both were identified through dental records and their provisional causes of death were given as "consistent with the effects of fire".
Mr El-Wahabi's family said: "Yasin was a loveable, bubbly and caring young man. He would lend his hand to anyone who asked for help.
"He was loved by so many and his contagious smile will always be etched on our minds and hearts."
Coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox opened and adjourned the proceedings "with a heavy heart".
She said 47 people have now been identified, with inquests opened and adjourned for 45 of those victims.
